Surprise, surprise - DeVos and the Trump administration are up to it again. They've proposed yet another rule to weaken Title IX, and shatter anti-discrimination protections students deserve.
Learn more about these proposed changes and how you can take action to stop them ⬇️
Betsy DeVos has proposed a rule that would expand the use of religious exemptions by schools under Title IX.
Religious exemptions allow schools to ignore portions of Title IX if they don't align with their religious practice – like being LGBTQ, having an abortion, or having sex.
DeVos proposed changes would allow religious schools to punish students for things like
❌Being LGBTQ
❌Taking birth control
❌Having an abortion
❌Experiencing intimate partner violence
#TitleX is meant to ensure discrimination never forces someone out of school. But changes would allow schools to expel students who already face discrimination and/or harassment.
This is just another example of DeVos valuing schools and religion over students' education.
This rule is bad, but it isn't law yet. You can submit a comment today to stop this rule and DeVos' attack on students.
